Artemas J R BroylesWow. That was kinda cool. I know Jonas will be an excellent guard for Nikki when the need arrises. I would have to say that probably after Frankie, Gideon and Jonas are the fellas who care most about Nikki. So Jonas was a good choice on Frankie's behalf. What are your thoughts?

Alpha Hollis POV This time when I surfaced, I knew it would be pointless to try to call for help. I could feel the silver bindings around my throat, wrists and ankles. “Good, you're awake. It’s time to go,” the voice said. My head was pounding and I felt weak, too weak to tolerate another round of wolfsbane. “Where are we going and how do we expect to get there?” I asked my captor. “I am going to remove the hood and we will walk, but first you must listen because if you don’t, I have no problem delivering your carcass to the wolves,” the voice said and I nodded in response. He yanked the cloth from my head, ripping some hair out with it. I was immediately blinded by the light in the room. When my eyes were finally able to focus without the spots dancing around in them, I saw my captor for the first time. He looked young, around the age of my kids if I were to guess. But that doesn’t really tell his age since vampires stop aging when they turn. He was tall, leanly muscled, with coff
The Blood Moon Luna Family First
Nikki POV When we arrived at the gates to the territory, we quickly shifted and dressed in the clothes that the guards brought out for us to put on. We stood as a unit. Alpha Kieran and Alpha Isha stood as the head with Frankie and Kendall flanking them. I stood to Frankie’s right with Maisey beside me and Gideon behind me with a hand on my shoulder, ready to pull me from harm at a moment’s notice. Tatum and Marcus took their places beside Kendall since Frankie’s flank was already taken. Alpha Kieran spoke first, “You requested a conversation with the Alpha? What is it you want?” The man that we could see said, “I want to trade one of your kind for one of mine.” I heard Gideon’s sharp intake of breath behind me and his grip on my shoulder tightened. It was then that I realized the man was another vampire. Gideon must view him as a threat and is preparing to remove me from the situation. Maisey shifted when she noticed Gideons slight movement. I hadn’t focused on everything that wa
The Blood Moon Luna Getting to Know You
Gideon POV This has got to be the strangest thing I have ever encountered in all of my existence. I lost my life because of my involvement with Dakarai. I lost Alvaro because of his loyalty to his queen, Luis through depression by his own hand, and Phinneas through tragedy. Now after 231 years of loss, Hecate or maybe Selene wants to send me a mate? Someone who believes wolves are the enemy? Whatever god or goddess is at work here has a warped sense of humor. I won’t deny that he is handsome, but it will take more than a handsome face to convince me to keep him as my mate. Yes I feel a pull to Eilif and bond, but it isn’t like the wolf mate bond where every fiber of your being wants the person and only that person. Vampires are solitary creatures by nature and mate bonds are rare. I will just have to be cautious while I figure out whether to accept him or not. I am grateful that Alpha Kieran invited him to come and get to know us all, he really didn't have to allow that. Well I supp
The Blood Moon Luna Pillow Talk
Nikki POVToday has definitely been a day for the books. I am so proud of Jonas, he has been my best friend forever and just always been one of the girls. Not that any of us have ever minded that. Just because he can pee standing up, didn’t mean we had to behave any differently with him. I know he has felt left out of my life these last several months, especially since I got back from Nevada because he wasn’t of age to have a wolf and participate in a lot of what has been going on. But for him to accept Frankie’s challenge to spar and hold his own doing it, spoke volumes for him personally. The fact that he was seen by others besides our group, those who have been much less than kind, was monumental! I have a good feeling that things will be different for him going forward, in regards to being harassed at school and around the territory. Not that I need a guard so much right now but, to know that I have two people that I can trust in that position is important. There may be a time
The Blood Moon Luna The Quislings
Kendall POV I thought that I would feel something when I finally faced my father again, what I didn’t expect was for it to be intense hatred. He has never seen me as worthy of his love and praise, well that only came if I did his bidding. His words at the gate fueled a hatred that was already inside of me, “YOU FUCKING TRAITOR! I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE WEAK AND WORTHLESS!” He screamed it at me. I am not the traitor, and he is the worthless one. He betrayed my mother, his pack, and pretty much everyone he has ever come in contact with. He warpered my sister into the psychopath she became and it cost her life in the end. Not that it took much, Keegan was self centered and wanted the finer things in life so he used that to have her do whatever he asked. He wanted her to infiltrate the Cold Moon Pack and she couldn’t do that. I wonder how much longer he would have let her live after her failure. We’ll never know because she was so demented that she got herself killed. She was so bent on b
The Blood Moon Luna Gideon and Eilif
Eilif POV This has gone way different than I could have ever expected. My mate is soooo handsome, I can’t believe after 80 years that I have a mate. What is truly amazing is his love for the wolves, I can see that they care about him too. Now that they have all gone to bed, I have the entire night to talk with him and get to know more about him. “Let’s go for a walk Eilif,” Gideon says to me and I can see that he is anxious. We go to the back of the house and out that door. “I figure we can walk and talk without disturbing everyone else, if you don’t mind?” he says and heads to the wooded area. “So Gideon, I told you and your friends about my life. Will you share yours with me?” I ask hoping that he is starting to at least like me. “I am 252 and I was 21 when I became a vampire. Though how I became a vampire is different than yourself. I have always known that I was gay, though I was very inexperienced when I died and it was the cause of my death,” he shared with me sounding very s
The Blood Moon Luna Battle Plans
Nikki POV At breakfast this morning the table conversation revolved around the council and what will happen to Alpha Hollis and the war against the rogues to help Kendall to take over his pack. There is a lot of planning that has to take place in a short time, because the longer we wait to remove the rogues from Rip Claw the more Kendall’s pack suffers and the greater the possibility that he will lose the loyalty of the pack members. We go back over squad divisions and look at where we might need to make changes to be most effective. We have come to the agreement that we should not have mates or family members on the same squads with the exception that Gideon will be with me. That was a hard line he drew in the sand and no one wanted to argue with him. Plus it put Frankie more at ease to have me ‘more protected’ as he saw it, Someone cleared their throat and then Eilif spoke, “I realize that I am new and we got off on the wrong foot, but I would really like to help in this fight.”
The Blood Moon Luna Up to Speed
Nikki POV I want to say that I have high hopes for when we visit the council, but I don’t. Part of me still feels like reporting the crime made us the criminals. I don’t care if the Head Counselor apologized for being a dick or not, something just feels off. Even Wyntre gets agitated when we are near him, and that makes me more uneasy. I am glad that Alpha Kieran is the one that will be giving the update today, because he doesn’t seem to be bothered by the Head Counselor. When we arrive at the hospital Dr. Lynn gives us an update and it looks as though three of the four councilmen will be discharged today. She did ask if Gideon would be available at some point during the day to give blood to the fourth councilman as he is healed enough for his life to not be in danger. I told her I would get in touch with Gideon and get back with her. Alpha Kieran asked if she could have a conference room set up so that he may brief the council on everything that has been going on. Frankie and I dec

The Blood Moon Luna Finale
Mia POV I am not one hundred percent sure what Kendall means by public awaits, but I know I wouldn’t be dressed like this for any small event. So I eagerly placed my hand in his and followed Kendall to the back of the packhouse. When we stepped out of the back door we weren’t outside though. There was a dome that had been erected and decorated like a grand ballroom. The linens were deep burgundy and the table decor was greenery heavily trimmed in gold. The scene was absolutely breathtaking and my heart was so full, my chest could have burst right open. This had been done for me? But why? When a familiar voice came over the P.A. system, my head whipped in the direction of a small stage. “So, when I used to tease my sister about sending her far away to some evil Alpha, I never really thought about the fact that she might actually end up on the other side of the country mated to an Alpha that absolutely adores her. Phoenix Storm, may I present to you the guest of honor Luna Mia Rose De
The Blood Moon Luna Restricted
Mia POV As Gabby drove me home I thought about Nikki and Frankie’s romantic evening ahead. I won’t lie, I am just a little jealous. Frankie is still attentive to Nikki, and I wish I could say the same was true for Kendall and I. Maybe I should try getting all dressed up and taunt Kendall with naughty suggestions. But sex doesn’t really seem to be our problem though, he’s been a little cold and closed off, he even has the mind-link blocked most of the time. Maybe I should go home for a visit. It has been a few weeks since I have seen mommy and daddy and I really haven’t gotten to know Eli’s mate Cadence. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, so maybe if we spent a little time apart things will get better. There has to be something wrong with our bond, every couple I know can barely stand to be apart from one another. I was so deep into my own thoughts that I hadn't realized the Hummer had stopped. I was going to ask why we had stopped outside of the gates when I noticed a ba
The Blood Moon Luna For My Treasure
Kendall POV Do you have any idea how hard it has been keeping a secret from Mia? It means I have had to keep my block up on the mate bond and keep mind-links to a minimum so that she doesn’t find out what I have been planning. The whole no Luna ceremony thing has really bothered me and I asked her again to consider it after I picked up the ring that I commissioned Simone to make. No go, she doesn’t need a celebration to know that the pack loves and accepts her. The thing is that pack members have asked when we will be celebrating their luna. They are so excited to finally have one and they want to shower her with affection. So while it is really a little late to have a luna ceremony because she is really their luna in every way possible, it’s never too late to just celebrate her. So the pack has been secretly planning a celebration for her. When she comes back from Cold Moon this afternoon she will hopefully be surprised. Once she cleared the gates this morning we started putting
The Blood Moon Luna Heartache
Mia POV Everyone around here has been acting a little weird lately. No one seems to have time to talk and they are always in a hurry. Even Kendall seems distracted at times, I know we have a lot going on, but he has been so attentive from day one that it has me worried. Could our bond be broken or maybe just not as strong as everyone else’s seems to be? I really just don’t understand. I have decided that I am going to meet with Nikki and the rest of the girls at K&T this morning. I am in serious need of some girl time and a decent macchiato. I went to knock on Kendall’s office door and let him know I will be leaving for the day. “Come in,” he called out when I knocked. Gordon and Bertie were in the office with Kendall and it looks as though they are going over some sort of paperwork. I walked over and gave Kendall a kiss and said, “I am heading over to Cold Moon to have macchiatos with the girls, I will be back this afternoon. Kendall reached into his pocket and pulled out his keys
The Blood Moon Luna Joining Forces
Kendall POV Things went so well meeting with the elders today and I couldn’t be happier. I realize that a name change isn’t much in reality, but I feel like it is one more step away from my father and all of his misdeeds and something that will have a positive effect on pack morale. I am curious as to what Frankie wants to speak with me about, perhaps it is just the formality of signing the alliance that we verbally agreed to back in Atlantic City. Now that we have decided on the name change, we can move forward with the fealty ceremony and that should be another step in the right direction in the healing process of the pack. If it were a financially viable option, I would have this pack house demolished and build a new one to destroy more of the bad memories. I have a little more than two hours before Frankie should arrive and I asked Anita and Letty to keep Mia distracted while I pay Simone a visit. Hopefully they have interpreted what I had in my head into another of their stun
The Blood Moon Luna Phoenix Storm
Mia POV I am so proud of the progress that Kendall has made at sifting through the mess left behind by Hollis and the rogues. I can’t even call that vile man Kendall’s father and would never call him an Alpha. He was a disgrace to that title and his picture is next to the definition of evil in the dictionary. I don’t understand how any person can do half of the things he has done and still sleep at night. We discovered that Hollis had a lab set up in one of the warehouses, where he was testing the effects of some of the weapons he had been trafficking on different pack members who had angered him. Dr.Lynn from Cold Moon Pack came with an experimental cure that actually worked wonders in helping those who had been experimented on. She tried to explain that she used vampire blood to make some sort of protein fusion with the endoplasmic reticulum… I am definitely not science minded and it was all gibberish to me. It worked and that’s all that really matters, right? Apparently Holli
The Blood Moon Luna Beta/Gamma
Kendall POV I honestly didn’t know what I expected to find sifting through the mess left behind by the rogues and my father’s Beta and Gamma. But the level of depravity was astounding. They took everything they could from my people and when I say everything, I do mean everything. They collected what they called ‘taxes’ but in all reality was just their greed. The more a pack member had the more they took and worse was the treatment of unmated females no matter their status. They had the packhouse running as a brothel and if a female wouldn’t submit to their whims… I just can’t even talk about it. Poor Cookie won’t tell me what she has been through and I won’t force it, but I know it had to have been bad. I accidentally knocked the broom onto the floor when I entered the kitchen and she went into complete hysterics. I had to call Dr. Lynn who came from the Cold Moon Pack hospital to sedate her. I spoke to the human authorities this morning and found that they would not allow me to
The Blood Moon Luna The Packhouse
Mia POV After the battle was over, our injured and dead were transported off of the field. Kendall, my dad and I made our way to the Rip Claw packhouse. Kendall asked one of the omegas to get some fresh clothing and show my dad to the guest suite so he can shower and change. We stopped by Keegan’s room to find something for me to change into, then we made our way to Kendall’s room to shower and change. I wasn’t completely thrilled with wearing his psycho, dead sister’s clothes, but now is not the time to be picky. “How do you feel, Alpha?” I asked as we undressed quickly to get into the shower. “Relieved it’s over, if I am totally honest,” he sighed. “We freed our people and that is the important part,” I replied. “You said our people,” Kendall grinned. I looked down not knowing if I had misspoken and said, “Well, I hope they are our people anyway. You haven’t changed your mind have you?” He used a finger to lift my chin and his eyes sparkled with excitement. “Yes Luna, they are our
The Blood Moon Luna Freeing My People
Kendall POV We spent the day in training yesterday and I have to say watching Mia was truly fascinating. She is remarkable both in hand to hand and in wolf form. Her movements were fierce yet graceful; she was no delicate little flower. I have said it before and I will likely say it many times more; She is my treasure, my perfect blessing from Selene. Today is the day and I wish I could say that I am ready for it but the truth is I have slept for crap these last two nights. Don’t get me wrong there is no love lost over killing my father. Quite the opposite actually. It has been two nights of the same thing on loop in my dreams, my father telling me I am worthless, I can’t do this, and he will always win. Today is the day I prove him wrong though once and for all. He may be dead, but he is still in my head and the sooner we free Rip Claw from the rogues and begin rebuilding, the better. There is so much riding on this that if I let my father’s words sway me, I would fail. Failure is
